About this map

Upper Red Lake and Lower Red Lake dominate this northern Minnesota landscape, where the two massive bodies of water nearly meet. The passage known as The Narrows connects these basins, creating a unique hydrological bottleneck in Beltrami County. This area is characterized by expansive wetlands and marshy shorelines that separate the open waters from the surrounding forest and prairie systems. The presence of Resvn Hwy 27 provides a solitary arterial route through the wetlands, tracing the northern edge of the lower lake. The map reveals the immense scale of the Red Lake system, focusing on the aquatic transition zone rather than dense settlement, offering researchers a clear view of the natural shoreline and the primary transportation corridor used to navigate the reservation lands.
